This was great. Adeline, our guide, was so knowledgeable about everything Mayan and was Mayan himself.
It was nice to see visit the sites and learn about the history but note this is a very long day. Guides Julio and Daniel were great. The second bus was comfortable. However, had I known that when they said pick up from hotel (Blue Bay Grand) meant we had to walk to the street to meet the bus I would not have booked it. We were only told this after booking and by then it was to late to cancel. This made for a horrible start to the day as it was not clear which bus was coming, pick up point, they were very late with no communication so my family and I were running back and forth on the street in front of the hotel trying to figure out our pick up. Several calls to the contact numbers provided were not much more helpful as they didn't seem to know much either. The food at the buffet was not the greatest and made us sick. Lunch was not until around 3:30pm i guess giving the late start and of course with group tours delays at various stops. The staff at that establishment was not the friendliest and seem annoyed we were there. Drink prices were utterly ridiculous - we ordered a bottle of water and pina colada. We were shocked to learn that it would cost $8 US. Asked to re turn it and was told we could return the unopened bottle that was sitting in the same spot the waiter left it but we could do an exchange. So we were forced to pay that amount for a can sprite. Overall a so so experience for us.

Your insights are valuable to us, and we’ll use them to enhance future experiences. We hope to welcome you back and exceed your expectations next time!
The tour bus broke down on the day which we were supposed to be picked up!!! If I did not contact your organizer, I would have been left wondering what had happened. The tour operator graciously gave us an “upgrade” and rescheduled our tour two days later. Overall, the tour guide, Jimmy was good and we did enjoy the tour in spite of the ups and downs. I will recommend people but I will caution them to be very careful of the timing. They are not always on time.

Great day spent with our guide Raymundo who was fun and friendly and we enjoyed all 4 stops to Tulum, Coba, Cenote and Playa del Carmen. Also the driver was fun and friendly, great team and well organized. So overall I would recommend this tour although it was a really long one.

Cheers to the driver and all of our people who work everyday to create better experiences for our travelers. We look forward to seeing you again for other wonderful experiences in the Mexican Caribbean. Thank you for your preference. Have a great day!
the Cenote was THE BEST part. Beautiful, exhilerating and very cool. Coba was also great, but rushed. Transportation was poor. Took 3 hours to "begin" the trip. The guide used little English so I wandered by myself to explore Tulum. The stop in Playa del Carmen was a waste of time.

Great tour, the cenote and buffet were not so original, I did a tour the day before and we went to the exact same spot. We had a complete free time at Coba! Very fun time biking on the park

If you are interested in a day long adventure than this is for you! I booked this for my moody 13 year old son and I. Originally he did not want to go as it was supposed to rain. It did rain on and off but it seemed that just about every time it poured we were on the bus. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable with Mayan history, almost a bit of a nerd but I absolutely loved it! His English was very well spoken and he did an amazing job between saying something in Spanish and then repeating it in English for those who spoke either language. The Ruins were pretty amazing as there was lots of reptiles and we seemed to be there during a time when all of the butterflies were there as well. There were probably millions of them! Muyil was nice as there wasn't very many people there and we were able to get photos without other tourists in them. We then stopped at a restaurant for lunch and had a lovely view of a lake. After that we visited the cenote. It was very interesting although the steps were very steep and wet so be sure to bring good shoes. Lastly we spent about an hour Playa Del Carmen which was very nice to be able to see what the city is actually like vs being cooped up in a hotel. We didn't get back to our hotel until around 9pm rounding our trip out to approximately 13 hours long. My son and I both enjoyed the experience very much and would definitely do it again.
